When a version of BIG-IP reaches end of technical support, it is supported until the next Ansible release.

For example, if a version of BIG-IP reaches end of technical support on January 1, and Ansible releases a new version on March 1, then the F5 Modules for Ansible are supported on that version of BIG-IP until March 1.

F5 does not back-port changes to earlier versions of Ansible.

F5 develops the Ansible modules in tandem with the REST API, and newer versions of BIG-IP provide better support for the REST API.
